Fangorn Forest was a forest beneath the southeastern Misty Mountains.
It was known for being the last habitation of the Ents and Huorns. It was named after the oldest Ent, Fangorn (Treebeard). It was also called Entwood by the Rohirrim.
History
Location of Fangorn Forest
Fangorn Forest was actually just the easternmost survivor of the immense forest that spanned all of Eriador and Calenardhon in the First Age and early Second Age, but which was destroyed by the Númenóreans felling trees to build their mighty ships and Sauron's war on the Elves. Fangorn forest was the oldest part of Treebeard's realm, and to here the Ents retreated.
Third Age
Fangorn Forest in the late Third Age
In late February of TA 3019[2], Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took escaped from the Orcs that captured them and met Treebeard.[3] They persuaded him of the danger that Saruman posed to the Ents and their forest. The Ents held an Entmoot and agreed to march against Isengard. Huorns were sent to Helm's Deep to assist in the Battle of the Hornburg.[4]
On March 1, TA 3019[2], Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli entered the forest and encountered the White Rider, whom they believed at first to be Saruman, but was in fact Gandalf returned from his battle in Moria.[5] After the War of the Ring, Legolas took Gimli through the forest to experience its wonders.

Etymology
The name Fangorn means "Treebeard", from the Sindarin fang ("beard") and orn ("tree").[6]
The Quenya embellishment of Fangorn Forest was Ambaróna.[1]
Portrayal in adaptation
For The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, scenes beside and within Fangorn Forest were filmed near the Mavora Lakes in far southern New Zealand.[7]
